Mossadegh's visit seemed to have achieved only one concrete result-to widen the disagreement between the U.S. ; and Great Britain over Mossadegh himself. Washington regards him as an honest fanatic who is hard to deal with, but preferable to the Communist Tudeh Party which might take over Iran if he should fall.

If we go it alone in Asia, we may destroy the unity of the free nations against aggression. Our European allies are nearer to Russia than we are. They are in far greater danger. If we act without regard to the danger that faces them, they may act without regard to the dangers that we face. Going it alone brought the world to the disaster of World War II. We cannot...
